A Personalised Approach

No two pupils are the same. Our curriculum recognises this by offering flexible and differentiated teaching, designed around:
  • The pupil’s cognitive profile and learning style
  • EHCP targets and preparation for adulthood
  • Social, emotional, and communication needs
  • Strengths, interests, and motivations
We don’t teach to a label or diagnosis — we teach to the individual.

Every pupil at Conifers follows one of three curriculum pathways: Learning to Learn (Green), Participation in Learning (Orange), or Independent Learning (Purple). These are not fixed by age but are responsive to progress, development, and need.

All pathways incorporate:
  • National Curriculum content, adapted and scaffolded
  • Daily therapeutic strategies
  • Opportunities to apply learning in real-life contexts
  • Enrichment experiences beyond the classroom

Foundations for the Future

Our curriculum prioritises:
  • Functional literacy and numeracy
  • Communication skills (including AAC and social communication)
  • Emotional regulation and wellbeing
  • Life skills and independence
  • Creativity, curiosity, and confidence

Whether a pupil is developing early engagement or working towards formal qualifications, our goal is to equip them with the tools to lead a confident, fulfilling life.

How We Teach

Teaching at Conifers is:

  • Multisensory and structured, but responsive and playful
  • Delivered in small groups, with opportunities for 1:1 sessions
  • Supported by specialist teaching staff and therapists
  • Designed around topics and themes, drawn from National Curriculum objectives and pupil interests

Enrichment and Experience

Our curriculum is brought to life through:

  • Forest School
  • Swimming, horse riding, and outdoor education
  • Creative Arts and play-based learning
  • Educational visits and community experiences
  • Regular theme days and cross-curricular projects

These experiences are not extras — they are central to helping our pupils explore the world, practise skills, and develop their voice and identity.

Ongoing Review and Development

Our curriculum is reviewed regularly to ensure it:

  • Remains ambitious, relevant, and inclusive
  • Reflects best practice in SEND and therapeutic education
  • Matches the changing needs of our pupils and families

We use a range of tools — including EHCP reviews, teacher assessment, and therapy input — to monitor progress and adapt plans accordingly.
